I wonder if her kids are also getting free room and board in foster care, courtesy of this judges tremendously well thought out decision?

Yep, I agree with you. The hypocrisy is out of control on many levels.

It's not about money and it never was. It's about power for it's own sake. Orwell was the first to point it out; we're becoming a society ruled by psychopaths. Didn't Ted Bundy want to become a judge?

I leave you with a quote from someone who points out that the perfect place for a psychopath to hide is in the judiciary:

'John had one overriding dream; to become a judge. Here was the greatest reward possible for a psychopath: to put on the royal robes of the judiciary - to become a demigod - to have others plead to Him and beg His indulgence, to have everyone rise in awe and respect when He entered the room, for His word to literally be law, to be able to create an almost endless amount of human misery, just because He could, to punish summarily anyone who, quite correctly, displayed contempt for Him, to have the power of life and death over people, to be granted the only royal title available in the United States: "Your Honor". http://users.hal-pc.org/~rcanup/sap.
